Grass in the road is believed to have caused a motorcycle to go out of control on Brookmont Road in Pulaski County Thursday.

According to Corinne Geller, spokeswoman for Virginia State Police, a report by Trooper D.T. Scaletta indicated the operator of a motorcycle apparently lost control due to grass in the travel lane of Brookmont Road. The motorcyclist refused medical treatment.

The 9:01 a.m. wreck occurred at the intersection of Paxton and Brookmont roads.
